Neck Pillows

How Can Neck Pillows Benefit My Healing Journey?

Neck pillows help to stabilize the neck and head while resting and sleeping during recovery. A neck pillow can be a great addition to your healing journey because it provides neck support and reduces the strain on the head and neck muscles. As non-stop resting and sleeping (often in an elevated position) is required during the initial phase of recovery from different cosmetic procedures, having to remain in such a position for long periods causes patients to experience all kinds of muscle tension and aches and discomfort in the neck. This leads to patients having difficulties resting and sleeping properly during the initial phase of recovery and is a cause for frustration. For this reason, a neck pillow can be a real lifesaver by enabling you to have the pain-free rest that is crucial for healing. During the initial 1-2 weeks, it is important to avoid these head and neck movements for certain facial procedures because they can worsen your swelling and bruising, weaken your sutures, and put you at risk of bleeding and hematomas.

How Can Neck Pillows Benefit Me In My Everyday Life?

Beyond using a neck pillow can be enjoyed in your daily life to provide support and comfort to the neck and head while sitting, driving or lying down. Neck pillows are especially great for having while traveling in the car on long trips or flights on planes.
